We raised over €1300 for the scholarship, that along with unexpected donations from The Otto Clinic and Maha Ireland means that this week alone we have raised more than enough for an extra year of the Eoin Murray Memorial Scholarship, allowing a deserving student the chance to spend a summer focusing on their art and producing poetry to enrich the cultural life of Cork and beyond.

We are as always so overwhelmed by people's generosity with their time, money and talent. It is heartening to see something positive come out of what was and still is such a tragedy.
